hi Shikha! I understand your concerns. for us adults as well it's sometimes not easy to accept our mistake especially If it is made to realize by others. we try and defend ourselves and give all sort of excuses and if that doesn't work we loose our cool. same is the case with children. avoid making the child realize where she went wrong immediately ,as she knows herself and doesn't want others to notice it. but at a later stage when no one is around, talk to her in not a complaining manner but as a discussion, how she thinks she could have done the same thing in a better way. let her on her own admit that it was a mistake. our motive is not to embarrass the child but to make her careful in future so that she doesn't repeat the same thing again. as far as abusive language is concerned please take note of the role model , and and work on that person first rather than the child. also encourage use of three magic words "sorry,please and thank u" in your day to day conversation at home. hope this helps!,
